Trump bashes Supreme Court’s ‘Republican’ justices, says they’ve ‘gone weak, stupid, and bad’

President Trump said on Wednesday that “certain” conservative justices on the Supreme Court have “gone weak, stupid, and bad,” tearing into them for a recent decision on tariffs and skepticism over his effort to limit birthright citizenship.

Trump slammed “Republican” justices in a lengthy Truth Social post, arguing that they “don’t stick together” like their liberal counterparts.

“The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them,” he wrote, claiming conservatives on the court have given Democrats “win after win” by doing the opposite.  

“No, certain ‘Republican’ Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they ‘supposedly’ stood for,” the president added.

Trump has chided the Supreme Court often in recent months, directing much of his frustration toward Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom he appointed to the bench.

Gorsuch and Barrett joined with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s liberal justices to strike down the bulk of Trump’s sweeping tariffs in a 6-3 decision in February.

The court ruled that the president’s expanded use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) exceeded his authority, dealing a massive blow to a cornerstone of his economic agenda.

The decision sparked debate over how the hundreds of millions of dollars already collected should be handled, with many demanding refunds for companies and taxpayers.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — which collects tariffs and duties on goods entering the country — opened a portal on Monday to process refunds for importers and brokers who paid tariffs.

Trump on Wednesday called the process a “travesty,” echoing comments made a day earlier that it would be “brilliant” for American companies not to seek refunds and that he would remember the ones who did not.

“Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable,” the president wrote on his social media platform. “One little sentence would have stoped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty!”

Trump has also predicted that the Supreme Court would rule against him again on the issue of birthright citizenship.

The justices cast doubt on the Trump administration’s arguments to limit the scope of the 14th Amendment during oral arguments earlier this month, for which Trump sat in the courtroom.

“If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible,” Trump wrote on Wednesday. “It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY!”
